'NO... STOP... WE'LL TELL YOU ANYTHING...' Even the hardest-hearted scorners of the Geneva Convention must wince and feel ashamed at the reports that Americans are playing Metallica to captured Iraqis in a bid to extract information from them. The Americans seem to think it's effective because the Iraqis have never heard Metallica before. We suspect it actually works precisely because they have. Lets hope the US guys are keeping records of the tracks they're using - we'd hate to see Metallica forced to take on the US Army over unpaid royalties, but we're sure they will if they have to.
